doubleo (1096), San Diego, California, USA Jan 8, 2008 Pours a dark brown blackish color with red highlights. Thinnish 1/2" off white head. Smells of roasted malts and a bit chocolatey and coffee. Tastes of toasty malts with some coffee. Pretty thin body, not impressed. Just ok carbonation. Its ok, not the greatest stout. Bungalo22 (326), Bridgeport, Connecticut, USA Jan 4, 2008 I read one comment that spoke of it being a great cigar beer and i totally agree with tthat. This is what I wrote on my own spreed sheet: Chocolate-like finish with a full fun body. Dedollewaitor (3622), Odense, Denmark Jan 3, 2008 62,5 cl. bottle: Black with a creamy brown head & lacings. Aroma is roasted malts & dark fruits (raisin). Chocolate, coffee & caramel roast. Medium, soft & smooth palate. Great! STEPHENDR (478), California, USA Jan 2, 2008 12 oz. glass bottle- color of India ink, with a thin medium tan head - nose of roasted coffee, anis, earthy, chocolate, vanilla, and milk chocolate – taste of milk chocolate, some bitter sweet chocolate, cappuccino, and - body is medium, silky, and with low carbonation – aftertaste of chocolate, mocha, and veggie??? pineypower (1076), Pine Barrens, New Jersey, USA Jan 1, 2008 Pours out black with a tiny beige head. Aroma of dark fruit, roasted malt and slight chocolate. Very smooth mouthfeel. Flavors of roasted malt, chocolate dark fruit, some licorice and slight earthy tobacco taste that you get from a maduro cigar. Would make a great cigar beer. Very Solid Goodgrief (1144), Middletown, Delaware, USA Jan 1, 2008 Dec 2005 - Beer poured dark brown color with almost no head and lacing. Flavor was sweet alcohol dominating the roasty choco malts. Too sweet for me with a bitter, almost astringent finish (not good hoppy bitter either...more like an aftertaste that wasn’t quite right). Mouthfeel was a tad thin. I feel no need to go back to this one. TikiE (360), Sylva, North Carolina, USA Dec 31, 2007 Good stout! Taste like a lion would if I lion was a dank stout beer!! Great aroma with amazing taste, it taste exactly how it smells! Mom got it for me for the 21st, and a damn good choice there mother! BelgianBeerGal (1275), Sabbatical in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Dec 29, 2007 Bottled. Dark brown colour, almost opaque. With a medium tan head and slight lacing. Aroma was faint chocolate and a little alcohol. Flavour was very mild with a bittersweet chocolate finish. Easy drinking stout.
